|
|
Special characters can be used to tell SchoolPRO to look up an email address or mobile phone number of a particular type or group of entities. The format is as follows: {^|*}{b|e|s}>{Control}[>Subject Category] |
||
b | e | s |
Specify only one of these characters. They refer to: b : Send both an Email and an SMS e : Send an Email only s : Send an SMS only |
|
^ | * |
^ : This caret character indicates that the {Control} value must specify a Tutor Code. Example - to specify the email address of the tutor AGR: ^e>AGR * : The asterisk indicates that the the {Control} value is a special lookup variable. |
